Question

The distribution of salaries of professional basketball players is skewed to the right. Which measure of central tendency would be the best measure to determine the location of the center of the distribution?

Answer 1

The median measure of central tendency would be the best measure to determine the location of the center of the distribution.

Explanation:

• The median measure is characterized by the determination of the middle value which has skewed tails on either side of it.
• Thus, for any apparent value that appears to be skewed, the use of median measure can prove beneficial as that would clearly help in bringing back balance in the pattern of distribution.
